Frequently Asked Questions

Pick a topic or type a keyword to jump straight to what you're wondering about.

What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is 2:00 PM for RV sites and 4:00 PM for cabins and Rental RVs. Check-out is 11:00 AM for everyone.
Can I get a late check-out?
Our Front Desk may be able to arrange a late check-out if it's available (additional fees may apply). To keep things smooth for arriving guests, please plan prompt departures.
What do I need to check in?
A confirmation number and/or a government-issued photo ID, plus a matching credit card. The minimum age to check in is 21.
What is your cancellation policy?
Plans change — we get it! Cancel more than 72 hours before arrival for a full refund of your deposit. Cancellations within 72 hours forfeit the first night's deposit plus a $35 fee. All RV site, Rental RV and cabin reservations require a deposit equal to the first night to confirm. Booked through a third party like Expedia, Booking.com or Agoda? Any changes or cancellations must be made directly with them.
Is a deposit required to book?
Yes — a deposit equal to the first night's stay confirms your reservation.
Is there a minimum stay requirement?
Nope — with the exception of some peak times and major holidays.
What is the hold on my credit card?
A hold for incidentals is placed at check-in — $200 for cabins and $100 for Rental RVs. It's released after a satisfactory inspection of your accommodation at the end of your stay.
What is the resort fee?
A small Resort Fee is added to your total — it helps us keep all of our high-quality amenities in tip-top shape year-round.
Can I make special requests on my reservation?
Absolutely! Request a specific cabin or site, being close to another party, or special accommodations by phone or in the "Reservation Comments" section when booking online. Requests aren't guaranteed, but we do our best to make it happen.
Do you offer discounts for groups?
For 10 or more RV sites or cabins, give us a call at (513) 701-9635 and our team will help you plan the perfect group getaway.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all forms of payment except personal checks.
Is parking free?
Yes! Parking is free for standard-size vehicles. Only one RV, one tow vehicle and one golf cart are allowed per site — additional vehicles park in designated areas for a small fee.
Can I bring my dog?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in personal RVs and cabins! You'll sign a quick pet waiver at check-in, and your pup can romp at our NineBark dog park. Pets must be leashed anytime they're outside on resort property and may never be left unattended. With the exception of service animals, pets aren't allowed in the Ironwood Grill & Tap, fitness center, laundry room or pool areas.
Is there a pet fee?
Yes — $7 per pet, per day at RV sites and $18 per pet, per day in pet-friendly cabins (weekly and monthly rates available). Maximum of 3 pets per site.
Are there breed restrictions?
No breed restrictions — we simply ask that all pets be well-behaved and non-aggressive, and never left unattended.
Is Wi-Fi free?
Yes! High-speed Wi-Fi covers the resort and is included in your Resort Fee.
What are the pool hours?
Our family pool (zero-entry, waterfall & water basketball) is open 10 AM–9 PM and our quieter adults-only pool (by the bar & grill) is open 10 AM–10 PM (seasonal — hours may vary by season and weather).
How do I rent a golf cart or cabana?
Golf carts and cabanas can be reserved right on our website. Personal electric golf carts with valid insurance on file are also welcome (gas carts are not permitted).
Are there safes or lockers?
Each cabin has a personal safe, and lockers are available to rent in the pool areas.
Do you have a lost & found?
Yes — it's at the registration desk, and items are kept for 90 days. Please keep valuables locked up; the resort isn't responsible for lost or stolen items.
Do you offer grocery service?
Select grocery items are available at our Coyote Creek Camp Store and can be delivered right to your site or cabin. Full grocery delivery is coming soon!
Is breakfast included?
Breakfast isn't included with your stay, but you can grab it — and lots more — at the Ironwood Grill & Tap, plus assorted quick-service options around camp.
Can I get outside food delivery?
Yes — deliveries come to the Front Desk. For everyone's privacy and security, delivery drivers can't access cabins or RV sites directly.
How far is Jellystone Park™ Cincinnati from Kings Island?
Just about 1.1 miles — a quick four-minute drive. We're the closest family camp-resort to Kings Island & Soak City.
Do you offer a shuttle to Kings Island?
Yes! We run a shuttle that transports guests to and from the park.
Can I use the pools or amenities without staying overnight?
Our pools and resort amenities are reserved for registered overnight guests only.
Is tent camping allowed?
Tent camping isn't permitted. RV site rentals require an RV, fifth wheel, travel trailer or similar accommodation.
What's the speed limit in the resort?
10 mph, and it's strictly enforced — there are lots of little feet and paws around camp!

Smoking and vaping are prohibited in all indoor accommodations and within 25 feet of any building or entrance — outdoor smoking is allowed in designated areas only. A $250 fee applies for smoking in cabins.
